If we’re already out, then I wouldn’t be surprised to see us go full tilt for it. Yep, very possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, well maybe we’ll know by the fourth round and go from there… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 We may be the new boys, we may be on pot 4. BUT... We have a master of European football in the dugout. There's a hell of alot of sides in those other pots who would love Unai in their dugout. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Champions League title race thread If we can take the amount of points we have this season off of our top 4 rivals, we can win the Champions League. No limits under King Unai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Nice treat for the fans with the new style 'group stage' rather than 3 teams twice. 4 home games 4 away games 8 different teams. I love it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) I think we could win it, but won't. Circumstance and injury will play its part and Emery won't fully sacrifice the league for it (by that I mean our best/key players will be playing both the games in European game weeks and will tire by the end of the season) But if everything goes our way, then we absolutely have a first team that on its day can beat anyone in the world.

Yup, we can beat anyone in a one off game, but we don't have the consistency. Funnier things have happened, us winning it wouldn't be as surprising as Porto doing it, but as well as the usual group of 5 or 6 clubs that expect to find themselves getting to the semi finals, there's probably another half a dozen teams that could plausibly say "you know what, if it all goes our way..." I'd be chuffed to just get out of the group Edited May 15 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted May 15 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15 I certainly fancy us to make it to the knockout phase considering we’d need to finish in the top 24 out of 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 With some good signings over the summer we could easily go up levels and next year be closing the gap at the top of the table in the PL and get out the group stages of the CL. I expect Unai and Monchi to be rubbing their hands together today at some of the potential signings now available to us. The new adventure is only just beginning.

colhint Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Just think Super John Mcginn will achieve something Bobby Charlton, George Best, Graeme Souness, Ian Rush and Kenny Dalgliesh have never achieved. He's qualified for Champions league. If everyone is saying this is the first time we have qualified, ignoring 1982, well these players have never qualified for it. And Liverpool and Manchester United have only won it once each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
